I need to put it for all front() and empty() declarations. By the way I
decided that popFront() is not a property. I don't know why.
Because it's an action, not a property. Simple as that. :)
Actually, the functions you mention are probably the best examples of
why the @property attribute is so cool. Using it, you can signify that
empty tests for emptiness, and doesn't empty() the range or container.
Rule of thumb:
noun or adjective --> property
verb --> not property
